Terror master Osama bin Laden played the proud papa and beamed with happiness as he celebrated his son’s wedding in TV footage shown yesterday on an Arabic satellite channel.

The Saudi multimillionaire, who controls a global terror network from mountain hideouts in Afghanistan, was shown on the Al-Jazeera channel in Qatar, smiling and wearing a white turban. He was flanked by masked bodyguards.

The network said the footage was taken at the wedding of his son, Mohammed bin Laden, on Tuesday in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar.

The younger bin Laden, dressed in a traditional white headdress, married the daughter of one of his father’s top aides, Hafas al-Masiri, who fought with bin Laden in the Afghan war against the Soviets in the ’80s.

The young couple apparently met in Pakistan during that period.

Guests at the wedding included top members of the Afghan Taliban militia that controls much of Afghanistan. The Taliban has repeatedly told U.S. diplomats that bin Laden is under house arrest.

Also attending was bin Laden’s military commander, the notorious Ayman al-Zawahiri, leader of the Egyptian Jihad group responsible for the assassination of Anwar Sadat.

Al-Zawahiri was a speaker at the wedding, Al-Jazeera said.

U.S. counter-terrorism officials see the release of the wedding tape as an attempt by bin Laden to taunt the FBI and CIA. The two agencies have devoted massive resources around the world to capture him and disrupt his operations.

Officials also see it as an attempt by bin Laden to enhance his image in the Arab world.

Bin Laden is on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List for masterminding the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed 224 people.

Jury selection is now under way in Manhattan federal court for the trial of four soldiers in bin Laden’s network who are accused of planning those attacks.

Yemeni investigators this week directly linked bin Laden to the bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen. Seventeen U.S. sailors were killed and 39 were injured.
